that the possessions had not been

One of the aft lavits published
below shows that the jury had in
creased to IA when they reached
their consulting room. After being
ont nearly two days they came in
and asked the Judge what constitu :

that possession must be perma-
nent and substantial, and that u

heal. Shortly afterward they came
in with a verdict for the defendant.
A man named Yearwood, Of
Sweetwater, was brennan and among
tine rest of the jury We noticed Flagg,
Cameron. Hoxey, Of Knoxville, and
Ruble. The first ballot stood ii to

happened then is we'll described in
tie affidavit of Jr. Ruble, although
the remarks Of the foreman were,
from all accounts, of a much more
forclblc nature tn IN stated.
Judge Key, in granting a new
Trial, stated that he was in perfect
sympathy with the one jnrynan who
held out so long, and that such a
verdict was an insult to the Court
after the charse delivered IRON the
Bench.

LADY, you've dropped some OF your
money! said a weil-dressed young
man to Mrs. 5. A. Van Riper, of New
ark, In the State Bank at that place re-
Gently. Mrs. Van Riper stopped down
to pick up dollar bill, and when size
arose her satchel, containing 1923, was
gone. The man who called her atten-
tion to the bill on the floor was still at
her side.
That man is running away with
your satchel," he said.
Mrs. Van Ripper did not see any man
running away, but in her excitement
she ran out of the bank to look for the
thief. Meanwhile the man who had
called her attention to the bill, which,
without doubt, he had himself thrown
on the floor, went out of a side door,
and was seen no more. Mrs. Van
Rlper, when she got tired of looking
for the thief in the street, hurried to-
ward the police station, and was met
near there by man who informed her
that he had reported the case to the
police. She turned back then, and the
police heard nothing about the matter
until they learned of it accidentally
two hours later. All the cOnfederates
got away safe.
Mrs. Van Riper is waistcoat manu-
facturer, ard was drawing check to
pay her help when the theft was COM
mitted. She saw two men watching
her, but had 10 suspicion OF their in-
tentions.

When my son Gregory married Miss

well, L didn't Ike her; she wasn't the
sort OF a girl I'd have chosen. had
never seen her, but L knew she wasn't.

a loaf of bread, but there was Miss

Lhat. L always liked Almira Fish, and
Gregory to go marry Fanny Morrison.
Well. as 1 said; told him what /

L never saw him.

LIFE OF a SURGEON.
a Terrible Operation---A Worried and
Exhausted Doctor---A Crisis

1 have always maintained that il is
impossible for any man TO be a great
surgeon If he Is destitute, even in a
considerable degree, of the finer feelings
of our nature. Ihave often lain awake
for hours the night before an import
ant operation, and suffered great men
tai distress for days after it was over,
until | was certain that my patient
was out of danger. L do not think
that 1t is possible for a criminal to feel
much worse the night before his exc
ecution than surgeon. when he knows
that upon his skill and attention must
depend the fate of a valuable citizen,
husband. father, mother or child. Sur
gerry under such circumstances is a
terrible taskmaster, feeding like vul-
ture upon a mans vit2ls. 1t Is sur
prising that any surgeon In large prac-
ulce should ever attain 10 respectable
old age, so great are the wear and tear
of mind and body.
The world has seen many a sad pict-
ure, l will draw one of the surgeon.
II is midday; the sun is bright and
beautiful; all nature is redolent Of joy;
men and women crowd the street. ar
rayed in their best, and all apparently
is peace and happiness within In a
large house almost overhanging this
street so full of life and gayety lies
upon a couch an emacIated figure, once
one of the sweetest and loveliest of her
sex, confiding and affectionate wife
and the mother of numerous children,
the subject of a frightful disease of one
of her limbs, or, it may be, of her jaw,
If not a still more important part of her
body. I'm an adjoining room is the sur

SagacIous Horses.

1t would be difficult to find better
Illustration of the sagacIty of lhe
horse than is contained in the follow
ing anecdote: a Mr.. Lane OF G'3ueSs-
tershIre, England, on returning hos Ne
one day, turned his horse into a field.
a few days before this the horse lad
been shod, and one foot had beels
pinched in the shoeing. n
Tie following morning Mr. La y
missed tie horsa- lie caused a searsh
% De made, and frUm what fz.s sii.sS-e-
wards learned II Is supposed tlssst-.se
animal, finding his foot uncomfortable,
made his way out OF the field by lift
ing the gate off Its hinges with his
teeth.
He went to the blacksmith's shop
where he had been shOd, distance of
a mile and a half, and advancing 10
the forge, held up his ailing foot The
blacksmith examined the hoof, and dis
covering the injury, took off the shoe
and replaced it more carefully. The
horse then set off at a merry pace for
his well-known pasture.
Shortly afterwards those in search Of
the animal, passing the shop, men
toned tue supposed loss, when the
blacksmith laughingly replied: ''Oh,
llie lOISc Has Dccu ncIc ails GOu IT,
shod, and has gone home again." and
this they found to be actually the
case.
Similar intelligence was shown by
another horse, which, of its own accord,
applied for relief TO a farrier from whom
he had previously received medicine.
lie had an internal disease which had
been very severe, but fr9m which, for
some considerable time, he had been
comparatively free.
One morning, when released from
the cart at breakfast time and his
! drivers back was turned, he took the
| opportunity to walk off TO the farrier's IS
workshop, which was at some little
| distance. When the faTrier appeared,
the horse lay down, and seemed anxious
/ to show by every means in his power,
| that he was in distress.
The farrier understood him, con-
! cluded that he was troubled with his
old complaint, and administered the
usual dose. and IN a short time the an
| imal trotted off contentedly to his mas
ter, who had been looking in all direc-
! tions in quest of him.
